“…Also, the author refers to Asparagus officinalis L. extract contents, rich in steroids, flavonoids, saponins, amino acids such as fructans, ferulic acid, minerals, and some vitamins and flavonoids compounds. According to Shaha & Anurag (2017) the active chemical compounds of A. officinalis were a group of important compounds with multiple effects such as alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, phenolic compounds, tannins, phytosterols, carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, and vitamin B6. Phytochemical screening of the aqueous and alcoholic extracts of the Asparagus root revealed for the presence of glycosides, phenolic, alkaloids, c compounds, steroids, tannins, saponins, and flavonoids.…”

This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory leverage of the aqueous and alcoholic extracts from Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) root as in inhibiting inhibit the growth of the pathogenic bacterium, and fungus in vitro study. Concentrations of 50, 100, and 150 mg.ml-1 were used as aqueous extract and alcohol extract of Asparagus root against selected organisms, which tested using a drilling method, adding a 0.2 ml aqueous extract and alcohol extract of Asparagus root in every per well. Also 0.2 ml of distilled water and methanol alcoholic add as control and tetracycline as an antibiotic. GC/MS test results showed that the Asparagus root extract (ARE) contains various major phytochemical compounds such as flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, glycosides, steroid, resin, saponins, and tannins. Also, it was observed that the alcoholic ARE had a higher inhibitory effect than aqueous ARE of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The highest diameter of inhibition at alcoholic extract concentrations of 50, 100 and 150 (mg.ml-1) were 28, 32, 35, and 26, 31, 35 mm respectively for aqueous ARE, compared to other concentrations. Whereas the effect of the aqueous extract was higher for the Pseudomonas 17, 25 and 34 mm compared to other concentrations, except for the antibiotic, which obtained the highest value (41mm). Aqueous extract concentrations 50, 100 and 150 mg.ml-1 showed higher efficiency than alcohol extract, antibiotic and control; when used against the fungus Aspergillus niger, and pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, the retarding diameters were 14, 17 and 23, and 11, 13 and 15 mm, respectively.

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are general complex congenital malformations consequential from failure of the neural tube closure during embryogenesis. It is recognized that folic acid supplementation decreases the predominance of NTDs, which has led to national public health policies regarding folic acid. To build your healthful pregnancy the choice diet includes a variety of nutrient-packed foods from the following groups: Fruits, Vegetables, Dairy foods, Protein, Whole grains etc. The present review focus on the some of the folic acid rich supplement food which helps to healthful pregnancy and lower the risk of congenital birth defect (NTDs).
